What Medications are Commonly Used for Endocrine Disorders?
Several medications are used to treat endocrine disorders, and nurses must be familiar with these. For diabetes, insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents are commonly prescribed. Thyroid disorders are treated with levothyroxine for hypothyroidism and antithyroid medications for hyperthyroidism.
